If praying to God involves being honest, then our prayers need always to contain confession of sin. For it’s this honesty in our petition that God sees the sincerity in our hearts.
16 Come and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what He did for me.17 For I cried out to Him for help, praising Him as I spoke.18 If I had not confessed the sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened.19 But God did listen! He paid attention to my prayer. 20 Praise God, who did not ignore my prayer or withdraw His unfailing love from me.
Psalms 66:16-20
